Fashionable Homemade Halloween Decorations
You can recreate some of these images with fun and easy crafts. The greatest part about creating Halloween crafts is that the whole family can make them and it it allows you to spend some time together. Lots of Halloween crafts can be done by almost any age child. For instance, your toddler can help out and learn new skills like cutting, drawing, and coloring. Of course, you need a few crafting supplies from the store. Here is the basic craft equipment needed:
Obviously, most households already have average craft supplies like scissors, tape and glue. So, let's begin: it is going to be fun! Pumpkin painting Here is a very special idea that will allow you to recycle your Halloween ornaments while saving a lot of money. You probably already have ceramic pumpkins. Instead of buying new Halloween decorations, paint your old ones according to your needs: gold or silver paint for a luxurious decoration, for example. You may also want to paint them in black or white. With a black, white, silver or gold marker, draw some shapes on these new pumpkins such as black cat, white witch, black mansion... Kids love bright colors so you can paint your pumpkins in several different bright colors such as orange, green, blue, red, yellow, etc. Draw Halloween figures on these pumpkins. For teenagers ornament, paint pumpkins with metallic colors, glow-in-the-dark, glitter, etc. Halloween Tree Put bare branches in a vase. Paint small Christmas tree balls black, white, and orange. Draw Halloween figures on them. Hang the balls on the branches. You may also make your own Halloween tree decorations such as ghosts, black cat, witches, and spiders cut out cardboard. Paint them and hang them on the tree. Tip: create a great Halloween garland with popcorn painted orange. Spiders To make these spiders, you need an egg carton. Cut all the egg cups. Paint them black. Paint their eyes with white or orange paint. Make four small holes on each side of the spiders. Insert a black or colored pipe cleaner in each hole and stick or glue them to the spider. Give the shape you want to the pipe cleaners Find as many small pumpkin plastic containers as you want. Fill them with candies. Voila! Treats are ready to be given to kids who will knock on your door on Halloween Eve. Pumpkin Jar If you already have one or more, fill a glass jar with small plastic or ceramic pumpkins; alternate pumpkins with maple berries and leaves. Homemade Halloween Illuminations Here is an almost free Halloween craft! Paint small jars in black, white and orange. Draw some Halloween shapes on them and insert a tea light candle in each jar. For instance, paint a white jar, draw Scream murderer's eyes and mouth and voila, you have a very special ghost light. Place the Halloween candles on a black tray, insert mini pumpkins, maple berries and leaves, etc. If you have bigger jars, you may paint them as well and pour in Christmas lights. Halloween Candelabra Paint candelabra with black paint. Add orange wax lights. Hang cobwebs on the candelabra for a spooky Halloween effect! Halloween Centrepiece You will need to use a bread basket in order to make this item. Fill it with some maple leaves. Add cobweb, mini pumpkins, spiders... You may keep the basket for Thanksgiving: you will only have to replace cobweb and spiders by grapes and pine cones. Witch Hat If you still have a pointy black hat from last year, reuse it by sticking Halloween items such as fake hands, spiders, cobwebs or other spooky items and pin it to the front door.
